Re:You Know You're A Theatre Kid If... - 2008/01/18 18:35-You accidentally hugged your theatre guy friend, almost knocking him over, before you see his girlfriend standing next to him. Oops. Impulse.
-You know your castmates like they have been your best friends since third grade by the end of the first readthrough
-You're ticked in Drama class that you get the randomly assigned small part in the most boring scene in the play to perform for your final. You mutter "He should have at least *auditioned* us, jeesh!" and throughout the rest of the class adopt 'there are no small parts, only small actors' as your mantra.
-They kicked you off of the basketball team for dramatically lunging for the ball, hitting the floor and laying, motionless, on the court until they drag you off, to which you say, in a feeble but defiant voice: "I can still play, coach!"
-Somehow, you're miraculously better at rehearsal.
-everyone knows everything about the inner workings of your life
-It made your day when you won the WWYDGFC contest- yes, now I can get that 'actors do it onstage' tote bag I've been lusting after! -Ali
Currently: -Sheila; Boys Next Door (postshow depression mode) -auditions for acting ensemble and whatever the school musical is...sort of anxious!

I first heard that "mantra" in second grade when my teacher put on a musical about a princess and an evil wizard and animals. lol. all i can remember is i wanted to be cast as the princess but i got a butterfly with no lines and just a dance. The girl who got the princess was this obnoxious girl who would say "i want to be the princess!!!" when the teacher was casting us and she didn't even audition us! On the brightside i got to wear the pink butterfly wings!!!!!! I don't list that play on my resume! lol. LOL i just remembered how the boy who played the bear wetted the bear suit my mom made for the play! (it is all coming back to me!)-Laura
Favorite Musical: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!!! As for more "happy" musicals i like BATB and Music Man (and lots of others, that i can't think of right now!)
Next production: R&H Cinderella?

Oh, I know. Everyone else promoting with me was Belle, Mrs. Potts, Babette and the transformed Beast. I felt very out of place, but these were the costumes they assigned to us. We weren't doing 101 Dalmatians of BATB, it was mostly a publicity stunt.
-You have a love-hate relationship with bobby pins
-The only sites you visit regularly besides facebook and your email are theatre related: the websites for local theatre companies and talent agencies sheet music websites youtube videos to help you with the next auditions MTA wikipedia, for show research and links etc.
-The hardest question you've ever had to answer was on the MTA welcome forum: 'what could you not live without? You can't say anything theatre-related'-Ali

Re:You Know You're A Theatre Kid If... - 2008/01/22 18:09On Thursday, January 24th, you're going to mourn the 12-year anniversary of the death of Jonathan Larson (specifically by singing RENT songs all day and wearing some form of black...and, as you get out of the car to go to school you're going to look u pat the sky and say "You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends. But it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones.")Credit for the avatar goes to Amy from the Idina message boards. It's my turn to be brave ~Idina Menzel

Re:You Know You're A Theatre Kid If... - 2008/03/29 23:55You got yelled at for trying to cheat in history class when one of the questions on a quiz was "What state is south of Missouri?" and you started humming that song from The Music Man. "You really ought to give Iowa, a try!"
This actually happened to me. Like any of the kids in my class have even heard of Music Man.
Also
-You don't know any of your OWN lines, but you could understudy for anyone else in the cast at any given moment
The following are my favorites from facebook:
-You know it should have been Jonathan Groff (If you laughed at this, you are the ULTIMATE theatre kid)
-Boys who can sing, dance, AND act=love.
-You get used to not sleeping
- Or eating.
-You have sticky or hairless places on your neck because the mic tape has pulled it off.
-You know that even rubbing alcohol can't remove the gunk left over from the aforementioned tape
-You don't care that fourteen girls had the same dress as you at prom but god help the girl that has 'your' monologue.
